breaking in brakes...what do you do

Buy the time I get to reading/following those directions I will have crashed :B

I just try not to have to use them 'hard' for a while after new brakes installed.
But then I can't always remember what 'awhile' is sooooooooo

I just drive and brake as needed/when needed.

For the purest...Bedding New Brakes.

Bedding The Pads - NEVER DRAG the brakes

Note: Never “Bed” pads on rotors, which have not first been “Seasoned.” Always allow a substantial coast down zone when bedding pads that will allow you to safely drive the car to a stop in the event of fade.

Perform four-repeated light to medium stops, from 65 to 10 mph, to bring the rotors to temperature.
Perform three light stops in succession. Perform eight heavy stops, back to back, at a point just pending wheel lock, from 65 mph to about 5 mph.
Drive for ten minutes to create cooling airflow, without using the brakes if at all possible.

Also, don't come to a complete stop and hold the brakes while they are hot during this process. It will imprint the rotors.

I drive like normal. Nothing to "break in" that I am aware of. Perhaps if you don't get the rotors surfaced you may have a superficial noise until the pads wear into the grooves on the rotors, but it shouldn't affect much...

I have never done anything special, just use them.
